Nothing wrong with 3 good young inside linebacks (Mayo, Spikes and McKenzie) . . . Pat's can rotate them and keep them fresh . . . also put Spikes in the middle and go to a 4-3 every now and then just to keep the other team off balance. I'm not as big a Spikes fan as some on here (I've attended a lot of UF games) but I'm hoping I am wrong on the kid and he has as good a career as Teddy Johnson did.Posted by tenace4life

Good Point on the 4-3. We also picked up two DTs in free agency and Mike Wright projects as a pretty good 4-3 lineman. Could we be seeing more 4-3 this year?

That he'll be a force on run defense sems a given and he has great instincts, is a natural leader and has big play ability and intensity. Tough to argue about getting him in the second. Period. That said, I'm not convinced the pass rush has been upgraded to the level it obviously needed to be up graded to [Rivers and Manning will be there in the playoffs again and both improved in significant ways]. Wgere do the sacks and presures come from?
